1 Cor 1.2 defines Church members as relating to Christ, no mention of Peter
1 Cor 12.28 Says the Church built on the apostles, and doesn't refer to Peter as the senior apostle
Eph 5.23 and Col 1.18 say Christ is the head of the Church, not Peter
Note all of these texts describe a member of the Church as relating to the Lord Jesus Christ, not as relating to Peter
